    On your fuge. I used a 20 gallon long and almost set it up the same way but i did not use bio balls and I have my intake feeding in through a fitler sock and rite next to it is my protien skimmer. Then you have a longer section for you fuge. I like the idea of the faulve to return the flow back to the intake.

    Another thing we all should do to help keep our pH from dropping is air out our homes. CO2 builds up in our homes and it get in your water very easily. Open the windows for 15 to 30 minutes a day. It will help your tanks and you.

    He has an irritation on his skin or in his gills. He is scratching the itch.

    It's cold here!!! Well, not that cold. I guess I could do that after I get back from work. We put the heat down when we leave to work anyways :)

    I believe you're right. He's doing this always on the same side of his body. Something's fishy...

    I just made a quick sketch of what I've been picking up from everybody and will put it on that other thread I have. I think the emergency is over and I can focus back on the fuge build. Please, stop by and look at it. I made the Fuge area bigger with your suggestion. Also Steve Wright had suggested this as well, but you reminded me about it.
